The obvious question that comes to my mind is concerning participles of the
category (1) above. It seems that by default all participles of category (2)
would also fit category (1). And in my mind, I am trying to see why the
reverse is not also true.

Can you give me a few examples of participles (attributives) used where the
referents are being "determined" (because they are not ALREADY DETEERMINED)
by the participles? Or, have I misunderstood your grammatical principles
above.

Thank you,

Mark Wilson
